I lived like this for a long time. Now that I'm making more money, I still feel like I'm living like this because I'm paying off the bills I acquired while broke. Poverty doesn't end once you get a good paycheck.REPORT COMMENTS

My mom raised my brother and I as a single mother. She was fortunate enough to have a full time job that made sure we had a roof over our heads and food on the table. For many Americans, this isn't so. Please play this game, and consider what it's like to be less fortunate than yourselves.REPORT COMMENTS

Funny thing... I am a 27 year old graduate student and I face decisions like those posed in the game every day (except I do not have children). I do have a part time job, but it is hardly enough to get by. I am aware that there are people far worse off than I am, and I am thankful for all of the opportunities I have been given. Life was different when many of you were in my shoes, many of you came from wealthier families than mine... My point is we should all be struggling. Equally. A true patriot is willing to sacrifice... You should all think about that. Maybe that wasn't a funny story at all.REPORT COMMENTS

All kidding aside, do you realize this is a reality for way too many people? And, that for some, $8/hr would be a godsend? Please think of this before you make any rash decisions about so-called "entitlements".REPORT COMMENTS

Made it through the month by avoiding bills, denying my child good opportunities, and eating non-nutritious foods. My car will be repossessed so I'm sure to be fired. So compelling.REPORT COMMENTS

I took the test and was broke on day 23. I will be 70 in a few months and I live like this, on a small Social Security check and food stamps. Food stamps do not pay for paper products or personal items or prescription or doctor co-pays. I am no longer able to work and my rent takes most of my social security money and I live in a very tiny 2 rooms w/bathroom.REPORT COMMENTS

When I was a single mother, this was no game, it was my life. There's nothing worse than deciding who gets paid and who doesn't every month. Please consider how debilitating poverty is for all of us.REPORT COMMENTS
